I have to install two network printers via IP printing for about 50 users. That will be 100 installs and is very time consuming :( Anyone know if there is a way to script or create an .exe file to automate this process? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
 
Are the printers on a windows print server, or direct IP to the printer?
 
I apologise for thread hijacking. I too would like to know this. Mine is direct IP to the printer.
 
I've only used prncnfg.vbs, but there's a bunch of scripts you might check out. Perhaps there's a way to set it through these scripts, but I got lazy and just imported registry files to set duplex/tray info.

Prncnfg.vbs
Configures or displays configuration information about a printer

Prnport.vbs
Creates, deletes, and lists standard TCP/IP printer ports, in addition to displaying and changing port configuration

Prnjobs.vbs
Pauses, resumes, cancels, and lists print jobs.

Prnmngr.vbs
Adds, deletes, and lists printers or printer connections, in addition to setting and displaying the default printer

Prnqctl.vbs
Prints a test page, pauses or resumes a printer, and clears a printer queue

Prndrvr.vbs
Adds, deletes, and lists printer drivers
